RFC Clubs in Dublin |
Rugby, originated in 1823 is related to both soccer and American football. It is said that this game was started by William Webb Ellis, who while playing soccer, picked up the ball and ran downfield instead of kicking the ball. This style was adapted by other English universities and schools in the middle of 19th century. The English Rugby Union was formed in 1871 to regulate the game.
According to K. Quinn in "The Encyclopaedia of World Rugby" (1991):
"In 1895, an argument in England over paying players led to a split between groups of clubs and two forms of the sport have existed since: the professional game (now called Rugby League) with 13 players per team; and the more widely played amateur Rugby Union, with 15 players. The rules differ slightly, but the basic idea for both is the same.
The rugby field is roughly 160 yd (146 m) long and 75 yd (69 m) wide, with goal lines 110 yd (101 m) apart and two in-goals (corresponding to football's end zones) 25 yd (23 m) deep. A halfway line divides the field, which is further subdivided by other lines parallel to the goal line.
A rugby match is in halves of 40 min, and may end in a tie. Since 1987, when rugby World Cup matches were first established, nations have competed for the Webb Ellis Cup, named for the sport's supposed founder; outside the British Isles, the sport has been popular in Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, France, and Romania. It has gained a measure of recent popularity as a club sport in American colleges, sometimes played in the spring by football players."
British Isles are considered to be the hub of rugby games. That is why the beautiful and recreational city of Dublin is always in full charm to attract Rugby fans from all over the world. Dublin city has so many Rugby clubs, which are of International standards. These clubs provide coaching, exercise, skills and drills, resource libraries and powerade conditioning, as Ireland has a small pool of players. |
